I'll be coming as well!

I'm new to TL and esports, but not Starcraft. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Also, I'm in the beta, so anyone can take a spin on my Bronze, haha.

Lol how big is this place? The last time I was with this many gamers was senior skip day, for all-day CSing at the local PC room.

they have a ton of pc's (80 or so) and it's never more than half full during the day on Saturday so we should be straight.

it gets pretty crowded at night but the majority of us will be there from like 12-6pm.

we're looking like at least 25 now but maybe more.

I highly recommend anyone interested in beta downloading the installer on a flash drive if you have a 4 or 8gb flashdrive (in case it's not loaded on your PC at the lan center) the problem though is there's 12+ worth of patches to download too, dunno how we're gonna get around that, the LAN center might bitch at us... oh well that'd be nothing new.

With an 8 gb drive you can fit the whole game, with a 4gb or 2gb you can fit the installer but then dl all the patches. I only have a 4gb but lets hope a lot of people can bring the 8gb

as long as we have like what, 8 computers or so, we could easily run a full tournament, even 4 computers is enough sinec we could do 2 matches at a time and it'll be a bracket of 16 probably.

The OSL finals (flash vs effort (sorry kal olol)... i'd like to see effort take it, but it won't happen) take place at 5:00 AM that day, so that shouldn't conflict. I'm really excited for the MSL finals the weekend after, though.

BTW, do any of the places that we'll be that day have age restrictions? My friend and I are both 17.

LoL its really funny you expect effort to beat kal, thats cute.
and for conflict that fucken sucks. Granted we could do what we did the first time, everyone avoid watching or looking at the games etc, and then we can possibly all go and watch them after the lan. That might be a pretty sweet deal

Age restrictions, no you guys are fine.

How will you handle the food arrangements with this many people? I assume any restaurant would not want to serve 25+ guests at the same time without a heads-up on the situation.

if we have over 24 people we might have to go in two groups. 24 is 4 tables at the place we usually go to... and that's already quite a large group at once.

Next week I'm going to send out a batch of PM's to recheck the confirmations to figure out exactly how many people are coming but we keep getting new signups still... And it seems like we might have over 24.

LF, if the amount of people is a problem for seating at the LAN (don't know how big it is) I'm fairly certain all 5 of my friends will sit the tournament out for space and people who actually can play.. they dont even go to TL mostly.. but if it isn't a problem then nvm.
